Great video. This is how all musicians tape their parts, but the tips about the razor, letting the tape fall off the edge, boosting the music so it lies flush make a big difference in quickly making a large number of tidy parts. Thank you
There is no need to use a helping booklet for bringing the left and the right side to the same level if you tape more fasciles of 2, 3 or 4 sheets each and then tape them together at the end taking 2 by 2 of the same thickness.
This is super helpful. I'm an orchestra librarian in Scotland and players have been asking for an alternative to noisy spirals. Will be giving this a go this afternoon!
If you can, use some kind of artist's tape or paper tape. The typical office tape made from plastic gets brittle and splits with regular use or after a year of storage.
I have been doing this forever, learned it from a fellow arranger back in the 80s. He would put the tape past the top and the bottom and cut both to make it perfectly even across the bottom and top. I prefer 1/2" tape in case the margins are narrow.
Narrow margins and avoiding anything printed is partly why I prefer 1/2", but I also just prefer the look of it. I don't want to see the tape at all, so the smaller the better.
To solve the mismatch in height, perhaps you can make mini booklets or 2 or three taps, and then join them together. As you have more mini booklets of similar thickness, you can join those.
I think it’s important to note exactly how you place the tape. You measure the length of tape starting at the top, but the contact with the paper first happens at the bottom.
I do the same thing except I use packing tape that is 4 cm wide. That is the clear packing tape or shipping tape. Regular scotch tape will not work because in a short period of time it will tear
Hi! Thanks for the video. Am just curious, as I see a paper that is not white, and I really love the look of it. So professional! Which paper is it? Thanks.
I don't remember for sure, but I think in this case it was a regular white paper near an incandescent floor lamp that made it look tinted. This was most likely Accent Opaque Digital 70lb or 80lb Text (104-118GSM). I sometimes buy their Warm White color, but only if it's specifically requested. Otherwise, I prefer the contrast of normal white. I never buy heavily bleached or laser paper because it's too smooth and gets in the way of rapid page turns when performing. The paper wholesaler near me has a generic house brand that's similar, so it may have been that rather than Accent Opaque, but it's essentially the same.
It's a paper tape, sometimes called artist's tape. You can find it at craft supply stores or video and media stores if any of those are near to you. You can also order online from this shop near Hollywood, which is where I go to buy mine. www.filmtools.com/12whitperpap1.html
Artist tape is expensive in the arts and crafts stores, but ⅓ the cost at places that sell video production equipment. This shop is in Los Angeles, but they ship also. I like ½" width, but they sell many widths. www.filmtools.com/12whitperpap1.html

Thank you for this! I'm a brand-new orchestra librarian and this was such a helpful video for me.
Perfect. Thank you for supporting orchestral music!

omg wow this is SO helpful. I'm preparing physical parts for the first time and could not for the life of me decide what to do.
This is very helpful, simple and effective. Thanks for sharing it.
It’s good with paper tape. I didn’t have regular tape so I tried it with my paper tape and it’s awesome!

I'm curious about the tape you're using. Is it plastic or more of a paper? Where can one get it?
